         To: Dennis Gallagher
         So much to tell you
         Dear Diary
         And yet --- My life runs in circles
         and spirals
         Sometimes forwards
         Sometimes at a standstill
         OH TIME: tell me
         Is it yet?
         Is he the ONE
         With whom I can settle?
         Put down more roots?
         Here is a woman
         Vital and loving
         Who will want her children?
         To spend TIME with.
         The gamble is the mystery
         and the solution is
               LIFE
                     Helen O'flarety
